Haven't really owned any for quite a few years, probably since about '96(don't really know why though..LOL), but I sure wish I had more pics of the one's I had back then.

Here is one blairs male from back then, and those couple hatchlings I just recently sold.

All these are just "turd" generics though...(LOL! kidding of course!).

That top one looks like it has some blue in it, and the two hatchlings are very nice also especially thatone on the right.

Thanks man!. Yeah, that top one had some blue to it, but it isn't nearly as strong as the photo depicts though, or that would be part of the "Blue Man Group's" act..LMAO!!

Yeah, if it really was as blue as the pic shows, I could have marketed it as a "smurf" phase alterna..LOL!

Later Jimmy!,..uh, I mean Jorge!

Wow Mike....I'll expect an e-mail when you have some babies available this year! boomslang2050@yahoo.com remember me!!! Here are some of my alterna... Osman Canyon (Langtry) pair I personally caught within 60 feet of each other on the same rock cut.

a153fish May 01, 2010 11:17 AM

So you did catch them under the same rock! That's pretty cool, good luck with those guys!

I caught them about 6 feet up on the side of the same rock cut on 2 seperate nights on the same herping trip. They are the only 2 alterna I've found in the 5 trips I've made to west texas. On top of all that they ended up being male and female. I guess I was due for some luck! I have some other locality alterna that I'll post pics when I have more time.

That's a pretty neat snake Mike.

Almost all the way in focus... She used to be this good looking on her whole body but escaped for ten months and came back with a burned back end... Now her scales are funky and discolored, but you can't see that here!

a153fish May 03, 2010 07:41 AM

Very clean and crisp colors, very nice!
